This multidisciplinary work addresses in a serious and strictly scientific way the "hows" and "whys" underlying the actions of ultra high dilutions (UHD). The contributions, written by leading scientists in the fields of physics, physiology and biophysics, present an overview of UHD research which, to some extent, has been stimulated by the recognition of the therapeutic efficacy of homoeopathy. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 presents relevant data from physiological laboratories, serving as an introduction to what follows. Part 2 evaluates and discusses the most promising physical theories. Part 3 deals with biophysical aspects and Part 4 appraises the medical and historical context. The book concludes with a discussion of future research prospects. Current research activity, as the book emphasizes, is generating new scientific concepts which are likely to have consequences far beyond biology and medicine. "Ultra High Dilution Physiology and Physics" is a source of references and concepts and should stimulate more interest in the field.
The text should be of interest to physicists, biologists, and medical scientists interested in the science of ultra high dilution and in its efficacy in homoeopathy.
